DLA Wait Times - Part 27

[FlutterByASD]

New thread following on from part 26

Scan date 13/9 just had a call from dm
asking few questions and said i should get a decision today fingers crossed 🤞🏼 it’s good news

@MummyMas82 atleast you can semi relax now, for a few weeks at least lol. I can't see them refusing mobility but having to reapply for it is such a pain. Fingers crossed for you both 🤞

Parking - Scan 13/10... nearly 15 weeks hopefully not much longer :)

My scan date is 8/1. Only been 2 weeks but the waiting is awful. I know I've probably got another 18-20 weeks to wait. How do you all do it? 😭

Must admit I think the anxiety of waiting knowing it’s with the DM is even worse than just the standard waiting constantly checking my phone praying I get the text I’ll be so annoyed if he’s declined x

Hi does anyone know why I've recieved a message from UC asking to upload a fit note im confused when all I asked them was to add on disabled and carer element for my little girl?

@Anxiouslywaitingmum To be honest the beginning wasn't so bad but the closer it gets it's horrendous. I'm constantly on edge now and I feel like a nervous wreck everytime the phone rings

I did call them end of last week to confirm they had my forms as I hadn't heard anything. The man I spoke to said they are in the process of recruiting more dm's so hopefully the wait times start to get a bit better x

I'd ask them if they have missed read and confirm it is your child receiving disability benefit and not yourself.

I think they do read messages too quickly sometimes.

Parking here too. Scan date 18/09

not with decision maker yet according to them on Friday. Getting annoyed now tbh. I was told initially 15 week wait. They told me Friday expect it to take up to 10 days with DM and then a few days for a letter

@Listen2YourMother my scan date is 19/9 I rang Friday was still in holding queue rang today been assigned to DM yesterday so yours could be too x

I’m 13/9 and was awarded today so it won’t be long for you! I hope you hear from them soon!

should I be expecting a phone call from dm? If so what number would it be from as im panicking as I missed a call with numbers 0113 and a unknown caller

@Livd99 I've just got home and had a missed call on both my mobile and house phone from an unknown number 😬 I'm not expecting any other phone calls and usually spam calls are just on my mobile so now I'm worried.

Scan date 20/09.

I just phoned to check that they had recieved extra evidence. They scanned it in yesterday and said the case was also sent to a DM yesterday. I was told last week it was with a DM but it turns out it was actually in the holding queue.
Anyway it's with the DM now, along with extra evidence. Lady said they are turning decisions around quite quickly and should have a decision by end of next week the latest. 🤞🏻

Thank you I will do that

Scan date 20/9 just got of the phone. with the DM hopefully should here back by the end of the week fingers crossed

Just missed 2 private calls will this be the DM ? nd because I've missed them will this effect the decision thanks

No they call of 0800 023 xXx

DM called me last Friday and it was 0800 023 number. This is the number they called me from and it's been on other threads x
